Pizza idea hatched from pizza oven use


 
My wife and I make pizzas from scratch on a regular basis year round and the only way we will ever cook them anymore is on the grill. I will never use a oven in the house again. We did try a pizza stone and I am personally definitely not a fan. I can easily make perfect barbecue crispy crust pizza with these perforated carbon steel pans every time and the pizza literally slides right off. I have several of these pans and my oldest ones have been holding up great for years. It's not uncommon for me to run 3 grills at the same time with three separate pizzas but I think the wolf would be great to do a couple pizzas at once. You just have to get used to temperatures needed and temperature regulation. Like Brett said if you want to incinerate a pizza in 30 seconds you can but that's not what we're shooting for. I grill mine at about 350°F until golden brown on top and bottom.

So they show as non stick carbon steel. So there is no teflon or such? Are they "coated" or "seasoned"?

Larry it Looks to be a proprietary 2 layer ceramic based coating based on everything that I'm reading.

"The non-stick coating on a GoodCook brand pizza pan is a proprietary formula that is explicitly described as being made without PTFE, PFOA, or PFOS. The pan itself is typically made of durable steel or carbon steel.

Non-Stick Coating Details
Material Composition: The specific chemical composition of the nonstick coating is proprietary, but GoodCook confirms it is a "PFOA-free nonstick coating to provide excellent release". It is also free of PTFE (the chemical name for Teflon) and PFOS. This means it is likely a ceramic-based nonstick coating (silica) or another fluoropolymer formulation that does not use PFOA/PTFE.
Performance: The coating is designed to be durable and scratch-resistant, allowing for excellent food release and easy cleanup. Some product details even mention the coating is metal utensil safe.
Safety: The pans are marketed as a healthy and safe cooking option, free from the potentially harmful chemicals PFOA and PTFE that were historically associated with some non-stick products. The company follows California AB1200 chemical disclosure requirements for its products.

The non-stick quality and safety features are a key highlight of the GoodCook brand's bakeware range."
 
So, reading though I don't see mention of how high a temp it can take. So what about high temp Neapolitan style with fresh dough? Do you build the pizza on this? Or get it rippin hot and launch onto it?

I roll out the dough and then place it on the pan and build the pizza on the pan. I don't treat the pan with anything but it slides right off when finished grilling.
 
Just for giggles, have you ever checked your oven temp? Home ovens bake frozen pizzas all the time, why not a fresh one? We bake bread in our oven using the 16" pizza stone from our outdoor pizza oven, so if it will bake bread, it will bake a pizza.

We Mostly do extremely thin crust pizza and it's almost impossible to move them after you put them together. At least until after they are grilled and crisp.

Hmm I wonder how it would work using it like a pizza stone or steel?

You can build them on a piece of parchment paper and slide them onto the stone, or build one on something like the Lodge pizza pan.

I bought a Lloyd's pan from Amazon and instead of 1 they sent me 10! The first time I put one in the pizza oven it warped like crazy. It flattened out when I removed it from the heat, but it kind of freaked me out. I guess our oven was too hot for it.

I've been kinda thinking about that Lodge for the grill as well. Winter has hit us all at once so honestly outdoor grill pizza is on the "back burner" :D Currently the pizza oven is in the house sitting on my family room floor. I think for winter I can simply bring the Vevor stainless cart outside to the garage and cook in there. But if we end up with a mild winter again and or spring I'm gonna reopen my thinking on doing them in the Wolf
